I have long been interested in the legend concerning Jacob
Bartell's having been a Hessian Soldier in the Revolution. If I
am correct in what I have found, there can now be no doubt that
he was indeed exactly what the story says he was. I see no
reason to doubt that this was our Jacob Bartell. The dates fit,
the places fit, the listing as prisoner of war fits, and Barthel
in German is pronounced Bartell. The rest of the legend would
easily fall into place.
The following information was found in a book entitled HESSICHE
TRUPPEN
IN AMERIKANISHER (INDEX NACH FAMILIENNAMEN), translation Hessian
Troops in America (Index to Family Names), as far as my very
limited German goes.
Entry no. 471 is as follows:
Barthel, Jakob - Born 1747/1748 in Knichhagen, Hesse-Kassel, now
in the Federal Republic
of West Germany;
- Rank, Private (Gemeiner) in the von Knyphausen Regiment of
Grenadiers
(after 1784 the von Donop Regiment); and
- listed as a prisoner of war.
This regiment was formed in Zurenberg, Germany at the end of
January, 1776 as part of the Grenadier Battalion Block (later
Lengerke). The unit was newly formed at the request of the
British especially for the American Campaign.
Forming the largest contingent of troops in German mercenary
units serving in North America from 1776-1784, it consisted of:
15 infantry regiments
4 grenadier battalions
1 courier corps
1 artillery corps
____________________
Total: 15,000 men
Most of these troops arrived in August, 1776 and were first used
in New York and New Jersey. In 1777 the Grenadiers were in
Pennsylvania, then embarked for North Carolina where they
arrived in February, 1780. They saw service in Charleston and
Savannah, and were part of the British forces storming Ft.
Moultrie in April of 1780. In May/June, 1780 they returned to
New York. A proposed expedition for the relief of General
Cornwallis at Yorktown was cancelled and what remained of the
Block eventually returned to Germany and was disbanded there."
